Samsung partnered with Leo Burnett, motocross star Edo Mossi and local YouTube influencer Cane Secco to develop a “Smart Windshield” prototype for motorcycles. The idea is to allow the rider to stay connected while riding, without taking his eyes off the road. How do you feel about that?

Manufactured 100% in the USA at Paughco’s manufacturing facility in Carson City, Nevada; each URN is fabricated using stampings from original Paughco gas and

So we land in Bangkok airport, Johnny the driver picks us up to take us out to Pattaya…our home base for the Thailand experience. The guys we are meeting up with are expat Aussies, so they all have Harleys to ride. I have to hire a bike from a rental place, so I end up

Do you know brothers who bought rigid frames and engines ten years ago and they still collect dust in the back of garages? Hopefully this story will make a bunch of guys feel better, and empower them to get off the dime and peel down the road with a completed scooter. The man behind this
